Westminsterenders: Talent or Colour

[FishesaPlenty]

RTB and BCF are presumably busy with more important things. I'm clearly not qualified to start a Westminsterenders thread - but somebody has to take control and collect the waifs and strays.

The party of no talent want to introduce no colour into our lives.

6 days to the election.

Johnson is still a liar.

Corbyn is still apparently loved by Labour members and hated by everyone else.

Swinson is still a charming PTA chair.

Piggy she is a beauty queen. What an adorable little cat. 💕

Three Cheers for Alexandra

Thanks for all the previous threads @RedToothBrush, I don't know how I'd have kept up without them.

Can’t find a picture of a cat so here’s Baby Yoda as PMK.

I lurk on these threads and am neither adequately intellectual nor switched on enough to participate, but I do feel very confident in my feline knowledge. So I have no hesitation in telling you @Piggywaspushed that your cats are two of the most photogenic I have ever seen .

It's Friday night and the beers are out already.May need something stronger next Friday if the polls actually materialise into a Johnson majority.

This is Buster, bored with election news.

One of my traditional Lewis Carroll pmks.

The time has gone,' the Walrus said,
We’ve talked of many things:
Of lies, and (non)ships ,and pharma- crap

Of cabbages stashed ,and things

And why cups of tea are conning lots
And whether pigs have wings.'

But wait a bit,' the Oysters cried,
Before we have more chat;
For some of us need the NHS,
And all of us love cats!'
No hurry!' said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that

A loaf of bread,' the Walrus said,
Is what they chiefly need:
A Trumpian deal ‘n’ slashed consumer rights
Are very good indeed

Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed.'
But not on us!' the Oysters cried,
We turned to you, so blue.
After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!'

Election time is nigh,' the Walrus said.
Do you admire the view?

I've a bottle of Kraken ready for next Thursday/Friday. Hopefully it will be cocktails, rather than sat by the fire sobbing.

My wee cat is a massive grump.

Happy to provide my pretty cats as a moral booster

So only a week to go. We will know the result by this time next week.

Is Buster a tortie and a boy Mustress? That's pretty rare!

Yes only a week to go. I just hope (hope is all anyone in the world ever has that connects them to others I think) that the people of Britain do the RIGHT thing.

He's beautiful by the way...the image of my tortie!

I shall be leaving on a jet plane this time next week.

No idea when I'll be back again.

Depends a bit on what happens on Thursday. I am expecting to be very glad to be leaving, but maybe the great British public will prove me wrong.

Lol Piggy it actually works!! I've been vegetarian then vegan for almost forty years now. Since I was a small child. I have always been so fond of animals...this is one of many reasons why.

A Conservative Candidate Posted That "Multiculturalism" Had Taken Its "Toll" On Europe In The Wake Of Terror Attacks

The silence from Tory voters about their OBVIOUS and revolting racism, particularly their Islamophobia, is why I just don't believe they care less about anti semitism in the Labour Party. Why they are actually gleeful to have it to weaponise ffs!

Sorry...the Tory party's racism, not Tory voters'.

@KeithPartridge

Yes - Buster is a tortie boy.

A very greedy one, actually. He wandered into our lives four years ago and never left. He was a kitten then and very underfed and neglected.

Not so these days. He is sitting on HIS cushion next to me, very bored with the election but looking forward to his next pouch of food.

And this is McVicar, also bored with the election but posing on the new carpet just after being sick on it.

If it's in Hastings, it's the same one as thought disabled people should be paid less this morning.

You have beautiful pets, Mustress. They are just so oblivious to the chaos around us, aren't they?😂

Fortunately the cats keep me sane, IYSWIM.

The political news is so grim and work is so rushed. The NHS is on its knees. Years ago I could stay with women in labour and help them.

Now we only ask them to come in when they are almost on the point of giving birth. I dread to think what is going to happen in the privatised "NHS".
